The Tulsa massacre of Black Wall Street resulted in the destruction of 35 square blocks -- including 1,200 homes burned, 60 businesses, a school, a hospital, a library, and a dozen churches. Over 10,000 Black people were left homeless, and property damage amounted to more than $1.5 million in real estate and $750,000 in personal property (equivalent to $32.65 million in 2020). Over 800 people were admitted to the hospital, and an estimated 300 died. No white officers or civilians involved in the mob were prosecuted.
 
After the past years’ reckoning with racial injustice following the killing of unarmed Black men and women at the hands of the police, we must look back on American history to see what wrongs can and must be amended.
 
We are The Amendment Project (TAP), a student-led grassroots organization working to call for reparations for Black and Indigenous Americans. Through connecting with a network of students and university organizations, we aim to bring reparations further into our political discourse through education, resources, and dialogue, and mobilize a new generation to lobby city councils for reparative justice.
